We all love puppies, right?
It's near impossible for any dog lover not to, surely.
Wriggly, fluffy, loving, and extremely cute.
Why wouldn't you love them?
And they're not just adorable, they're interesting too.
Puppies are so different from adult dogs,
and different breeds are so different from one another.
If you're looking for some interesting facts about puppies,
keep watching to learn a bit more about these gushy creatures.
You might expect puppies to be helpless when they're born.
They're babies after all.
But did you know that they're effectively born deaf and blind,
with no teeth?
It's one of our favorite puppy facts.
Even the famous canine sense of smell isn't active when a puppy is born,
and their eyes and ears are closed.
Their eyes open when they're about 10 and 14 days old,
with eyesight fully developing at about 7 weeks.
Baby dogs are just like baby humans.
They spend a lot of time sleeping.
They sleep for over 15 hours a day right after they have been born.
After a couple months,
puppies can start to understand our body language and hand gestures.
Born without most of their senses fully developed,
their first sense that puppies develop is touch.
Almost from the very moment they are born,
a puppy's mother will lick and nuzzle them,
stimulating their sense of touch.
Touch continues to be important for puppies throughout their lives.
Puppies and dogs may have been domesticated almost 15,000 years ago.
Domesticated means they went from wild dogs to becoming pets for humans.
There are often many puppies in a litter,
each genetically unique.
But did you know that puppies can be twins?
The first confirmed case of this was recorded in South Africa in 2016,
with vet Kurt D. Kramer delivering them via caesarean section.
Although it's possible that there have been other unconfirmed cases of genetically identical canine twins,
this was the first officially recorded instance of identical puppies being born.
Another interesting puppy fact is that they lose their first set of teeth,
meaning that these could adorably be called baby teeth.
Your puppy's baby teeth will be replaced with adult teeth at about four months of age.
While puppies mostly drink their mother's milk,
when they grow up, they become omnivores.
This means they eat all sorts of food.
They like grains, vegetables, and meat.
Most dog food that you buy in a store includes all three.
A bit like humans, the color of puppies' coats may change as they get older.
Patches of color can shift and grow, and how they do so can depend on breed.
Dalmatians, for instance, don't develop their famous spots until they are two or three weeks old.
If your pup is purebred, then you'll be able to more or less predict their appearance through how their parents look.
But for crossbred or mixed-breed pups, it can prove more complicated.
Another interesting fact about puppies is that the number of pups born each day
drastically overtakes the number of human babies that come into the world,
with approximately 1.2 million pups to 360,000 babies.
That's roughly three times as many puppies as humans!
If all goes to plan and your puppy is growing healthy and strong,
they should ideally double their birth weight after the first week of life.
Why is the size in just a week?
Puppies are officially considered adult dogs when they reach a year old,
although the age at which they reach maturity really varies by breed.
Small dogs like Chihuahuas, for instance, will be physically mature at about 9 or 10 months old,
while large breeds like the Great Dane can take up to two years to be fully grown.
The largest litter ever recorded was 24 puppies.
This amazing fact is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Born in the UK in 2004 to a Neapolitan Mastiff called Tia,
the 24 pups were born by caesarean section,
although one was unfortunately stillborn and three others died in the first week.
Puppies can be born green!
It seems incredible, but it's true!
Puppies can be born green!
Although the color isn't permanent, fading after a few weeks,
there are few recorded cases of white-colored puppies being born a surprisingly verdant color.
Veterinarians think that the unusual color is caused by a green biopigment
found in the dog's placenta mixing with the amniotic fluid.
The average lifespan of dogs is usually somewhere between 10 and 14 years old.
Owners that want to enter their dog in competitions must start training their dog when they are very young.
This helps them learn important behavior habits at a young age and keep them for a long time.
What do you like most about puppies?
Kittens are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet.
They are small, soft and playful, and they always seem to bring a smile to our faces.
Whether you are a cat lover or not, there is no denying that kittens are pretty special animals.
Cats are considered kittens from the day they are born up to one year of age.
Newborn kittens require a lot of care and attention to grow up happy and healthy.
With their whisper-soft kisses and innocent eyes, kittens quite possibly are the most enchanting pets around.
While they are independent little creatures and can entertain themselves easily for hours,
they thrive on attention and love from their humans.
Here are 25 kitten facts for kids that will make you love kitty cats even more.
A kitten's eyes are closed at birth.
The eyes need to develop fully before their eyelids can open.
Newborn kittens can't see for the first week of their life.
A kitten's brain is about the size of your pinky finger.
By the time a kitten becomes an adult cat, its brain will have grown to the size of a large walnut.
Kittens love to play.
They spend up to 30% of their day playing.
If you leave a cardboard box out, chances are you will find your kitten in it a few minutes later.
A kitten's heart beats at twice the rate of your heartbeat, at about 240 beats per minute.
When a kitten is happy, it rubs its cheeks against people or objects.
Pet cats may appear clingy sometimes, but their rubbing up against you is actually a way they show their love.
A young cat or kitten has around 24 whiskers, which help them sense things like air currents and movement.
All kittens are born with blue eyes, but their eyes' color will change as the kitten gets older.
However, the size of a kitten's eyes doesn't ever change.
That's why kittens are born with such big eyes.
This is true for humans, too.
A kitten can jump up to seven times its own height.
They are also able to twist their bodies in the air to make a safe landing.
Kittens have 26 teeth, which they lose when they are about six months of age.
These teeth will grow back larger and sharper.
Cats also grow four additional sharp teeth by the time they become adult cats.
Most kittens weigh between two and four ounces at birth.
Their size and weight will triple after a few weeks of age.
A litter of kittens usually consists of three to five kittens.
A group of kittens is called a clouder.
A new kitten will nurse for four to six weeks and then start to eat solid food at a young age.
Domestic cats, also known as pet cats, are descendants of African wild cats.
Cats can see in both light and dark environments because they have powerful night vision.
This is because they have more receptors in their eyes called rods, which are sensitive to light,
helping them to see six to eight times better than we can in the dark.
Their pupils also extend wider than ours, allowing more light into the eye.
A cat's sense of smell is up to 14 times stronger than a human's sense of smell.
Kittens have excellent hearing.
A cat has 32 muscles in each ear that allow it to rotate its ears 180 degrees.
This helps kittens pick up on different sounds, such as a predator approaching.
Knowing when a predator is approaching is very important in order for a kitten to protect themselves,
especially after they have left their mother.
Cats can travel at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
They could beat a slow-moving car.
The average lifespan of a domestic cat is around 13 to 17 years.
The largest domestic cat breed is the Maine Coon cat.
Currently, the largest Maine Coon cat lives in Italy, and he is almost 4 feet long.
Kittens usually stay with their mother cat until they are around 8 or 9 months old.
At this point, they will either walk away and become wild cats,
or they may be adopted by a family and become pet cats.
Pet cats are some of the most popular pets, with over 2 million cats being adopted each year.
Most cats hate bathing.
They don't like the water because their fur does not insulate them well against wetness.
Thankfully, kittens are naturally clean animals.
A cat's tongue is surprisingly clean, and kittens will often lick themselves to freshen up.
A female cat can produce up to 3 liters of kittens per year, with an average of 4 kittens per liter.
The first cat was domesticated in Egypt about 4,000 years ago.
Ancient Egyptians would depict cats in clay and on vases.
These are some of the oldest evidence of cats we have today.
Since then, there have been over 100 million domesticated cats,
with approximately 400 million pet cats in the world today.
